Hey,
haven't found any exact info on this, so making a thread.
Is there any way to keep a faction from having colonies / stations? Just be a 'ghost' faction that is present in news, spawns fleets from independent colonies / stations or random spots on the map.
There are some refugees, merc and scavengers factions in the game folders, but they don't have anything in their files indicating a 'switch' that makes them 'just spawning fleets'.
I believe that these triggers are hidden in API which i would like to avoid messing with
